While I'd clearly been too scared, too tired, too befuddled and too uninspired to write in my blog for Written Drivel, I have been getting the itch back. And while I do intend to write again, I've also decided to mix things up and incorporate another love of my mine which I also feel my level of expertise is set to "amateur."
Photography.
Like writing, it's a saturated market. It can terrify me in that regard alone. Could I actually be successful? What does "being successful" mean to me anyway?
And then like I should and have learned to do with the writing, I tell myself to shut up, enjoy doing these things and that's that. Take whatever comes out of it while putting my whole self into it. I love that thought, because I love photography, even if I'm not yet at a skill level I'd like to be. It's a passion. And I can be outright dumb about my passions. I have that right.
So, from time to time, I will be posting here with a picture or two, or twelve or a link to my flickr page for my shots of "Hot Pottery Action" or "the latest mullet" or perhaps "Series of Old Refrigerators."
I have read a lot of blogs lately from photographers who have inspired me. Maybe I can also inspire you, too. If I do, send pancakes. I love pancakes.
